Is it weird... (career related)

[Clordio]

good luck clordio - remember that employment isn't the only option available, more and more people are becoming self employed, creating their own careers for themselves or undertaking a mixture of employment, consulting, self employment - whatever suits those individuals best. so by continuing with your studies and even going into a mainstream industry there's no reason why you'd necessarily be trapped in a position that didn't suit you, probably quite the opposite - education and qualifications can give you tremendous freedom.

also, as an aside, in my line of work recently (doing a spot of marketing for a local college) i've been finding out all about tractor and forestry machine engineering - the guys i've come across that do this absolutely LOVE it! they have such good fun, the bigger the wheels the better it seems lol! it's a wonderful thing to fall in love with your career

i hope you can find a path to feel passionate about

That sounds fun. How would one get into such a position? Possibly applying at the local forestry service?

Go at it Clordio I've been coding for a while myself. Though that was not my career choice in the beginning and I still do not regret it. It's a great area with so much to discover and figure out. A tinkerer can keep himself busy for centuries

This is fantastic news! I see a lot of potential in computers for the future, especially in the area of the internet. In fact, the internet has been quite a catalyst for people to come together and share ideas.

The idea of being helpful to this endeavor excites me to no end. Thanks for the positivity Ali :]
